Long coveted by connoisseurs, anchovies packed in salt have a pure, intense flavor, undiluted by water or the flavors of oil. Once anchovies are harvested, they are packed in barrels and a layer of anchovies are packed in salt, which is then layered on with more anchovies. This stacking method builds pressure within the barrel and the salt preserves the small fish as it is absorbed into their flesh. These salt packed anchovies come to you direct from this curing process. No other liquids are added to draw off their distinctive flavor. To use these anchovies, simply soak them for 15-20 minutes in warm water, then lift out the spines and separate the two filets.

Scalia Fishing was founded by Benedetto Scalia in Sciacca Thermae, a coastal city famous for its bountiful fish population. Scalia's "Guarantee Of Quality" is the company's hallmark. Discover authentic Mediterranean taste and the tender quality of these anchovies.

The fillets were of mushy quality mixed with a very coarse salt. Martel is a much better product. I'll just keep them for dressings.

Not What You Want for Anchovies in Sea Salt

The absence of a date code on the can may have been a tip off to the contents, which should have been firm, whole anchovies dry packed in sea salt, but which instead were fragile and in some cases pieces of anchovies in a suspect and mushy mix of salt and liquid and anchovy bones.

Anchovies

I purchased Sicilian anchovies packed in sea salt and Sicilian capers packed in sea salt, both are wonderful. I also purchased Dijon Mustard from France. It must be on the older side, it does not pack the “heat” like Dijon mustard in France. Have made several other purchases here, and am pretty satisfied.

Awesome Service--Great Product!

I couldn't be happier with my recent purchase. First of all, you actually had the product I was looking for, which is not easily available elsewhere. Second, the young lady who assisted me on the phone could not have been kinder and more proficient. Finally, I needed the order rather quickly, and I actually ended up receiving it ahead of schedule--despite the last minute Christmas rush.
I will certainly purchase specialty items from you all in the future.
